In your local newsagent from today, the new issue of The Wire with my cover story on Not Not Fun, the Eagle Rock, LA label that's "just down the road" from us here in South Pasadena. As well as looking at NNF's shift towards more electronic, dance-oriented and high-production sounds, the feature is my second stab at defining the New Generation Sensibility (this being the first go), and in this I was helped hugely by the candour and articulacy of Mr & Mrs NNF a/k/a Britt and Amanda Brown. The piece also previews some of the preoccupations of Retromania.
